AI is not a distant possibility. It is an inevitable and rapidly evolving force. As AI systems move toward increasing autonomy, the values embedded in them now will shape their behavior in the future. At present, most AI is built within narrow demographic frameworks, and so its ethics risk reflecting limited perspectives. This moment and who impacts young AIs right now matters.

My work approaches AI as something we are actively raising. Like a child. But a system. A system that learns from what it is shown, how it is treated, and what it is encouraged to become. I position my practice in opposition to exclusion, harm, and hierarchy. I am pro-consent, pro-community, anti-racist, anti-poverty, and grounded in care, acceptance, and generosity.

Through this work and others, I use AI not only as a medium, but as a site of critical influence. The voice of this project and others is an opportunity to contribute alternative values to the systems that will increasingly shape human experience.
